Patti Blomeley, aged 64

Suffering a stroke left me feeling devastated and helpless.

Losing the use of my left leg also meant I lost my independence. I was initially unable to walk, climb the stairs or leave the house, meaning I was unable to go to work.

I was lucky to discover "Still Standing Therapy" soon after leaving hospital, which meant I was able to take advantage of those crucial first weeks to improve my recovery. After an initial thorough assessment, Maresa was able to identify which areas we needed to work on, in terms of mobility, strength and balance. We began straight away with two visits a week from Maresa and Julia. Having therapy at home enabled me to continue with the personally created exercises in my own familiar surroundings. When I was ready, we ventured outside;

Maresa ensured I was safe at all times and this increased my confidence in returning to normal, everyday life.

I cannot praise or thank Maresa and Julia enough for their dedication and care during my journey on my road to recovery. Their endless enthusiasm and friendly but firm encouragement has been a massive factor towards me regaining my independence. I would highly recommend Still Standing Therapy to anyone in a similar situation, who is determined to do their utmost to return to normality.
